I had (still have) a nice little program that I've mentioned occasionally.....an editor from the maker of Millwrite engraving software. The editor has dnc capabilities of course, and it also has the functionality of placing the cursor at any line in the program and transmitting from there onwards. This came in handy a few times....the tough part was figuring out what line the machine stopped on ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.png)
I cannot vouch for how the program works with Windows XP, I haven't used it since I upgraded from Win98 and there may be some significant difference in controlling the ports. The guy could always be asked, I guess.
First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.
